VisionQuest returned Paul Bettany as the Vision and is the last series in the Disney+ trilogy that started with WandaVision, went to Agatha All Along and ended with VisionQuest. The series returns James Spader as Ultron as we see Vision confront his humanity and his relationship with his son Tommy. I dropped some of my thoughts along with theories on the end credit scene. But what did you think of VisionQuest? Make sure you drop your comments below!
This obviously still called Fixing The Multiverse Saga, but we essentially leave Loki Season 2 the same way it was, as it was brilliant. We just solidify that the bad version of Nathaniel Richards was Kang The Conqueror and connect it a little more directly to the next MCU projects. What do you think? Does this fix Loki 2? Loki 2The TVA has split into factions, and Loki finds out he has a condition that causes him to slip through time. He and Amora find Victor Timely, an early variant of Nathaniel Richards, who's being pursued by Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes. Loki keeps Amora from killing Victor and takes him back to TVA headquarters to repair the Temporal Loom. After thousands of attempts, Loki learns to control his time slipping and confronts He Who Remains, who reveals the Temporal Loom is failing because it's only a failsafe for Kang escaping the Quantum Realm and that Nathaniel Richards always ends up at the End of Time. Loki realizes what he must do and takes the branches of time by hand, holding them together as he disperses Kang's variants through the multiverse, becoming the God of Stories and forming Yggdrasil. The TVA continue their work, but now manipulate events across time to prevent Kang from finding the multiverse.End credits: Kang the Conqueror wakes in Ancient Egypt and is greeted by the people as Rama-Tut.
Obviously Thor: Love and Thunder had a LOT of problems. So the first way we fixed it was by delaying it by a year. We're gonna tone down to silliness, by a LOT and made some structural changes as well. What do you think, does this fix Thor: Love and Thunder? Thor: Love and ThunderWhen Gorr's daughter dies of hunger, All-Black the Necrosword begins calling out to him and convinces him to kill his god Rapu, who belittles his suffering. Valkyrie's old friend, Beta Ray Bill, contacts her and the Guardians to overthrow the Grandmaster. Bill kills him with Stormbreaker after a now-fit Thor joins them. Valkyrie & Thor return to Earth, where Gorr kills the Egyptian God Ra for his Skyfather Totem, attacks New Asgard for Odin's and escapes with both. Surprised to see Jane wielding Mjolnir, Thor learns it rebuilt itself to save her from cancer. They warn Greek God Zeus in Omnipotent City, but the apathetic Gods refuse to help. Zeus kills Korg for Thor's defiance, when Gorr suddenly attacks and kills Zeus for his totem. Thor takes the Master Bolt and contacts Rocket to help them track Gorr to the Shadow Realm where Gorr plans to use the Totems to kill all Gods. The Guardians, Thor & his allies fight Gorr and his Necro monsters. Since she's not a God, Jane destroys All-Black to kill Gorr but Mantis helps him peacefully die with memories of his child. Thor & Jane go to reform the surviving Gods on Omnipotent City. Earth's xenophobia driven by Ross' anti-alien campaign forces Bill & Valkyrie to move Asgard to Sakaar.End credits: Star-Lord doesn't notice the All-Black shard in his ship as the Guardians leave. Post-credits: With his dying breath, Zeus sends Hercules to kill Thor and restore fear of the Gods.
Guys, I'm not gonna lie our version of Secret Invasion is SO much better. Like, so much better. But tell us what you think!Secret Invasion After a terrorist attack in London, Nick Fury is arrested and extradited by Secretary Ross as news breaks that Skrulls caused the attack and Fury let them infiltrate and live on Earth since the 90's. Xenophobic chaos breaks out across Earth. Maria Hill contacts MI6 director Sonya Falsworth and Sharon Carter help them and Talos free Fury from jail. Talos reveals Skrulls were being killed and fears the attack was retaliation by radical Skrull Veranke who recruited Giah, his daughter. Veranke's parents worked as SHIELD agents but were killed by a startled agent after an injury revealed their Skrull form and Fury covered it up. Talos pleads to the Skrull security council to stop Veranke, but when she play a message from Fury & Carol that confirms they stopped looking for a home for the Skrulls, they turn on them and Talos gives his life to help Fury escape, who's saved by Giah. Maria Hill & Everett Ross' investigation of the terror attack takes them to a Skrull hideout where they rescue a captive Sharon Carter but Ross dies. Sharon reveals Veranke harvested her memory to build a criminal network so G'iah betrays Veranke by revealing how she funded the Skrull killings and thwarts her plan to start a Skrull-Human war. Sharon kills Veranke and retires. Kl'rt and other rogue Skrulls take refuge in Chernobyl where a Latverian official greets them. Secretary Ross anounces a anti-alien Presidential campaign.End credits: Sonya Falsworth and Sharon Carter recruit Brian Braddock, aka Captain Britain, into a new division of MI6 specializing in alien and superhuman threats called MI13. She introduces him to Dane Whitman and Eric Brooks.
This one actually need less fiixng than I anticipated. Other than a shift in the villain and some tweaks at the end, this is essentially the same movie. The MarvelsKree leader Karla Sor-Fenn finds a 2nd bangle on a moon and overloads it with energy from her Universal Weapon, creating an unstable jump point. Nick Fury reaches out to Monica & Carol to investigate, but when Carol & Monica touch the jump point simultaneously, their powers get entangled with Kamala Khan's, causing them to switch places in the galaxy. Carol explains the bangles are Quantum Bands ancient relics made by the Kree to make jump points. Monica figures their powers are entangled because she absorbs light, Carol generates it and Kamala creates hard-light constructs. They learn to switch in tandem and pursue Karla to a peace summit between the Kree and Skrull on Felestrandia. Karla uses the Band to drain the atmosphere from the world and send it to Hala, then does the same to the aquatic planet Aldana, before coming to Earth for its Sun. Carol confesses to Kamala & Monica that Hala's ecosystem's dying because her destroying the Supreme Intelligence crippled Hala's resource regulation and caused Hala to run out. Carol hadn't returned to Earth since because she hasn't figured out how to fix it. The Marvels confront Karla who gets both Bands and attempts to overload them but the energy output kills her and tears a hole in space-time. Monica's pulled into the rift and Kamala's forced to close it. Carol then amplifies her power with the Bands to reignite Hala's Sun and stays to rebuild Hala.End credits: Monica awakens in the X-Verse, where Beast explains that she is a mutant. She then sees her mother, Binary.Post-credits: Kamala approaches Kate Bishop and tells her she's forming a team.

With Doom's help, the Fantastic Four contain him, and Sue establishes the Future Foundation. The post-credit scenes introduce the Red Ghost and tease a breach into another dimension.
Here's how we fix Fantastic Four: First Steps! The biggest difference is that, it now comes out 3 years earlier, in 2022 instead of 2025. And then of course a completely different plot since it would take place in our main MCU Universe. Fantastic Four: First StepsBen Grimm tells a group of kids how six months ago, Secretary of Energy Reed Richards took Ben, Sue & Johnny Storm into space, where solar rays gave them powers, becoming the Fantastic Four. The US wants readings on Russian energy experiments, but Sue realizes they need to work from Latveria, due to its proximity to Russia, for the best readings. She approaches its monarch, Victor Von Doom, Reed's old rival, who agrees after explaining why life was better during the Blip. Pressured to get better readings, Reed lowers the shields to increase the range despite warnings from his associate Owen Reese. Reed misses a crucial calculation and the reactor blows, giving Owen a horrid scar and the ability to manipulate molecules. Ben watches Owen become more unstable as he blames Reed his scar. When Owen tries to kill Reed, Doom helps Reed develop an equation to subdue him. The Fantastic Four confront Molecule Man, and Ben confesses his resentment toward Reed to reach Owen, allowing the team to subdue him with the formula. Reed apologizes to Ben, who forgives him as they return home. Sue establishes the Future Foundation for diplomacy and education.End credits: Doom visits Owen in his Latverian cell and explains that his powers may have breached another dimension.Post-credits: One of the Russian scientists is fired and vows revenge on Reed in a lab filled with red ape experiments, declaring himself the Red Ghost.
Next up is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever! Again, not many changes here as Ryan Coogler did an incredible job with Namor and the origins of Talokan. The main change here is that Namor's secret is exposed and this synopsis will explain how. Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverShuri tries to recreate the heart-shaped herb to save T'Challa from an illness, but he dies, while Queen Ramonda faces geopolitical scrutiny after Zemo's abduction. The CIA discovers Vibranium in the ocean with a detector built by MIT student Riri Williams, but Namor wipes them out and goes to Wakanda, demanding they bring him the scientist. With Everett Ross' help, they find Riri, but Shuri & Riri are taken to Talokan by Namor's forces. He reveals his ancestors moved undersea after eating plants from Vibranium-rich soil, and his pregnant mother ate one, making Namor an immortal mutant with winged feet. Shuri tries to negotiate Riri's life when Ramonda calls Namor to meet, threatening to expose Talokan if Shuri isn't released. But Ramonda is unaware that Valentina bugged Shuri's Kimoyo beads that Ross recovered from the abduction. While Nakia rescues Shuri & Riri, CIA agents arrive at the meet to arrest Namor. He kills them and floods Wakanda for the perceived betrayal, drowning Ramonda. Shuri recreates the herb with Talokan soil and enters the ancestral plane, but sees Killmonger, who urges her to seek revenge. She and Riri lure Namor into a deadly trap to kill him, but Shuri chooses mercy and vows to protect Talokan's Vibranium. M'Baku becomes King.End credits: Nakia introduces Shuri to her and T'Challa's son, also named T'Challa.Post-credits: Now exposed to the world, Namor meets with several South American leaders, promising that an alliance with Talokan will benefit them all.
